Sunday 10th September 7.30pm Orkney Science Festival St Magnus Cathedral Kirkwall Orkney Scotland
See the blazing light and churning fire of the Sun’s surface and hear music for the cosmos from two composers whose works blend electronic sounds with instruments and voices to create work of elemental power and ethereal beauty.
I am delighted to be taking part in composer Michael Oliva’s second outing of his composition 'Co-incidences' which sees him collaborate with numerous musicians from different disciplines and backgrounds. This version of the piece will see the bell at St Magnus cathedral being played as well as the contribution of local musicians such as The Mayfield Singers, Ewan Robertson (alto and bass flute), Valerie Webster (cello), and Paisley Abbey organist George McPhee, and narration by solar physicist Prof. Robert Walsh.
Evan Parker - Saxophones Matt Wright - Processing and turntables Hannah Marshall - Cello Pat Thomas - Electronics Peter Evans - Trumpet Toma Gouband - Percussion
Since their initial meeting in a studio session in 2008, Evan Parker and Matthew Wright have embodied this peculiarly variable formation – whose only constant is the joint presence of Parker's saxophone, and Wright's electronic production and processing of the sound. . And if the designation Trance Map + gives some clues about the musical cartography followed by the two founders and other guests, that happens because this is an approach developed without eagerness, exploring in an electroacoustic environment environments and sounds that live outside the great arteries, in paths little illuminated and traversed. At Jazz em Agosto, they make the world premiere of a new sextet, in the company of Pat Thomas, Toma Gouband, Hannah Marshall and Peter Evans, on a map that is drawn every second.

Live musical happening dabbling in the surreal. Anatomy Orchestra forms part of Full to Bursting’s public programme. The immersive exhibition indulges in the bizarre and unsettling. Settle into the night as group of musicians perform a direct, improvised piece of music inspired by artist and curator Haydn Albrow’s dream language. Albrow will create a graphic score based on recordings from her sleep/wake brain activity, which, combined with an alphabet she created, will be converted into musical scores. Watch as the musicians interpret her dreams, creating a completely unique live sound experience. Interlacing music and art, this performance will swaddle the audience in a dream-like soundscape.
